Twelve Popular Men.

After a serious struggle, the

list, which, however, will meet with
much criticism. Here it is:
Grover Cleveland, Allan G.. Thur
man, Cardinal Gibbons, Samuel }.
Randall, Chauncey NJ. Depew,
Thomas A. Edison, James q.
Blaine, w. Il. Sherman, Philip
Brooks, Samuel l.. Clemens, Robert
G. Ingersoll, John L. Sullivan.
There is a wide difference of
opinion as to what constitutes
popularity, and The SUNS list is
based on "the power to attract those
masses of free aud independent
citizens whom curiosity will bring
together" Even on this basis,
the list will bear good deal of
correction. Mr.. Cleveland, for
example, is popular only because
of the accident of position aud not
for any personal qualities. The
president, no matter what may be
the degree of his personal I'M
popularity, will always be an object
Iof curiosity because he Is the
president If we take men who are
popular because of personal quail
ties, the following would be an I'm.
provement on The Sun list:
John H. sullivan, James G. Blaine,
Mike Kelley, John sherman.
Adonis Dixie, Gen. sherman,
sam Jones, Parson ralmage
Billy Emerson, Teddy Powderly,
Bob Ingerson ------?
The candidates for the last place
are numerous and it is hard to de.
eide between them. There is no
doubt that there is more interest
in sports and amu,ements i'll this
country than in matters of serious
concern. Taking popular curiosity
in the men themselves, and IN the
success achieved for themselves,
this list seems TO be fair one.
As in The Suns list, the South AS
section is excluded, where 1t Is

TuE morals and reasonableness of
the Socialists and their sympath-
izers are shown in the ease of
Glottkau. He can neither read nor
write the language of this country
and is consequently ignorant of its
Constitution and laws. He voted in
Wisconsin, and committed perjury
by swearing in his votes before he
had lived long enough in the State
to become a voter. He has lived
under false names, denied his
employment, and also committed
perjury in his testimony given at
his recent trial in Milwaukee.
That is the sort of men whom the
Socialists make heroes

Sr. LOUIS Republican Dem y:
Within year of the campaign the
situation is grave one for the
Democracy. It's repeated pledges to
reduce taxation TO the necessities
of an economically administered
government remain unfulfilled.
Nothing has been achieved except
repeated failure, the responsibility
that is not transferable as il now
exists. The Democrat majority OF
the House has never passed a
measure of general tax reform to
the Republicap Senate. All such
measures have been defeated in the
House by the aid Of votes for which
the Democratic party is responsible
If the party goes into a National
campaign under such conditions
and ON such al issue, it must be
defeated unless there has been a
radical change for the worse in
tire temper and intelligence Of the
American people.

perity. He looks upon himself as the
architect of his own fortune, and is proud
of the achievement. Old age has not
brought remorSe, nor does a near approach
to the grave bring to him consciousness of
his own moral obliquity. He is enraged
because he has been disturbed in his long
rest from participation in crime. His rage
does not result from sorrow or shame be-
cause OF exposure, but simply because he
doesn't want to be harrassed. And the
probabilities are that before many moons
have waxed and waned the people who
have disturbed him will fall beneath his
vengeance, Just as SIDNEY BURTON, the
Cleveland leather merchant did. K1ssANE
is the product of that school Of philosophy
which teaches that human beings are only
curlously- fashioned engines, and that there
can be no harm in killing any number of
them. Mr.. KIssANE may not have been a
student of VoLTAIRE or DARWIN OF
SPENCER, but his commercial career was
in exact accord with the philosophy of their
teachings He only practiced what they
preached. His whole life Is an illustration
of the religion of positivism, which de-
clares null and void the precepts of moral
ity. The logical result of atheism and
fatalism combined is to make KIssANEs of
men. If they only have the intelligence. the
courage and the diplomacy. The man who
believes that the end always justifies the
means will get to be a KIssANE. If he has
the nerve and ability to get there. And as
KIssANE is very little short of devil in
canate, the natural result of ratOnalism,
if it once became universal, would be to
make hell of earth.

therefore owes it to the country at large
which, through his elevation to the pres
idency has shown that it approves OF the
political principles OF which he is the advo-
cate, to rid himself OF half-hearted assist

IAN ALIEN LAND BILL.

& The Illinois leg iSlature has under con-
sideration an alien land DILL which is about
the most comprehensive measure of its kind
yet considered in this country. 1t provides
that hereafter aliens. before being allowed
to purchase land in Illinois. shall declare
their intention to become citizens of the
United States. Should they fail to take
out their naturalization papers within six
years thereafter. lands purchased shall re-
vert to the state. 1t is also provided that all
aliens who now hold lands in Illinois shall
become citizens within three years after the
passage of the bill. The measure admirably
carries out the theory of America for Amer
leans only, and in that respect is worthy
the most serious and intelligent
consideration. The West well knows
that the purchase of enormous
tracts OF land by foreign investors has
grown to an abuse of great proportions and
has worked greatly to the detriment of the
bona fide settler. Some measure, national
or state. is greatly needed to overcome the
evil and something on the lines of the legis-
latiOn recently enacted In Nebraska. and
now under consideration in Illinois, should
certainly be given attention by every West
ern state and territory. But the last provis-
ion of the Illinois bill cannot fail to act un-
justly. Alien purchasers of land in the
past may not be able to readily dispose of
their holdings and may not care to become
citizens of this country. They should,
therefore. not be disturbed, but all future
purchases by aliens should be confined to
the narrowest possible limits.

More English Aggression.

NEW YORK, April 13.-The newly ap-
pointed minister of Venezuela at Washing
ton. j. A. Olacarri, arrived here from
South America on Sunday. The occasion
for Senior Olacarri's acceptance of the posi-
ton of minister to this country is an old
time dispute between England and Vene-
zuela. In 1850, says the minister, the En-
glish government acquired portion of Dutch
Guinea by cession from the Dutch, extend
ing on the west to the river Esqueibo, an
important stream whose mouth is not far
from the OrinOco. The English govern
ment gradually took possession of territory
Oh both sides of this river at the mouth and
also territory at its source, which Venezu
ella claims was not included in the original
cession. Later they sent out an engineer
named Sir Robert Schomberg to run a line
between the two countries. His line en-
croaches upon Venezuela and takes in val
liable gold mines and the important island
of Barima at the mouth of the Orinoco
river. In 1850 an effort was made to nego-
tiate the boundary and both countries
agreed to keep out of the disputed territory.
Within year Senior Olacarri says the En-,
glish government has taken almost COM
plete possession of it. The Venezuelan
government desires an arbitration of the
matter and will ask the friendly offices of
the United States in the arbitration.

CONTEMPORARY COMMENTS.
A Good Word for McGtu.

Luverne Herald.
Many of the newspapers of the state have
INDUCED rather freely in the luxury of abus-
ing Gov. McGill on account Of some of his
appointments. This abuse, however, in all
probability falls lightly Oh the governor. He
has been newspaper man for years and
wouldn't feel comfortable without it. More
over, it would be an abnormal and unhealthy
condition of affairs il the state papers didn't
abuse the chief executive, and he would be
an odd sort OF governor if he didn't do
something that didn't please every body.
Abuse is one OF the penalties of political
greatness 1t does not appear, however, that
Gov. McGill has not shown wisdom and good
Judgment in the selection Of every man he
has appointed to office. There is yet to be
offered any well-founded objection to any of
them. The governor is responsible for the
present state administration, and he has used
his own judgment, as he should do. in max
ing his nominations. On account of the cir
cumstances under which Gov. McGil1 was
elected, he stands in a peculiarly independ-
ent position. He owes obligations to no other
SO great as that he owes TO himself. and if
the acts of his administration throughout are
consistent with his own convictions of right,
the Herald Is convinced that he will make
record which will be source Of pride to his
party.
